The Beauty of Sauna: How Sauna Enhances Your Skincare Routine
Sauna has been an essential part of Nordic & especially Finnish culture for centuries, offering a space for relaxation, detoxification, and overall well-being. But did you know that sauna sessions can also work wonders for your skin? The combination of heat, steam, and deep perspiration opens up your pores, making your skin more receptive to nourishing skincare products. This is why incorporating sauna cosmetics into your routine can elevate your skincare ritual to the next level.
The Skin Benefits of Sauna
When you step into a sauna, your body temperature rises, and your skin responds by increasing circulation and perspiration. This natural process has several beauty and health benefits:
✨ Deep Cleansing: The heat opens up pores, helping to flush out impurities, excess sebum, and toxins from the skin.
✨ Increased Circulation: The sauna promotes better blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, resulting in a radiant complexion.
✨ Boosted Hydration & Absorption: As your pores open, your skin becomes more absorbent, making it the perfect moment to apply hydrating and nourishing skincare products.
✨ Enhanced Skin Renewal: The increased blood flow supports cell regeneration, leading to a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Why Sauna is the Perfect Time for Skincare
Since sauna heat enhances your skin’s ability to absorb active ingredients, it’s the perfect time to incorporate skincare products that deeply hydrate and nourish. Here’s how you can make the most of your sauna skincare routine:
1. Pre-Sauna: Gentle Cleansing
Start with a mild, hydrating cleanser like the Golden Milk Cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt, or pollutants from your skin. This ensures that your pores are clean and ready to receive the benefits of the sauna.
2. During Sauna: Exfoliating and Hydration Boost
While inside the sauna, you can exfoliate the skin with either physical exfoliator or enzyme exfoliator. If you have sensitive skin then the enzyme exfoliator is recommended. You can also consider applying a few drops of a nutrient-rich facial oil, like the Nourishing Facial Oil. The warmth will help the oil penetrate deeper into the skin, delivering intense hydration and essential nutrients.
3. Post-Sauna: Lock in Moisture
After your sauna session, your skin is in the perfect state to absorb moisture. Apply a hydrating toner like the Smoothing Silk Toner to balance and refresh the skin. Follow up with a rich moisturizer, such as the Revitalising Day & Night Gold Cream, to lock in hydration and keep your skin glowing.
